To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Grcoaon HERBERT BUR'LEIGH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City, county of Hudson, and State of New Jersey, have invented ccrtaili new and useful Improvements in Mechanical Wastes, of which the following is a full, cle-ar, and exact description.

Thisinvention relates more particularly to wastes for bath tubs, basins and the like.

The primary object of the invention is to provide simple and efficient means whereby thewater within the. tub or receptacle may be held therein from beneath the receptacle; which is so constructed that it will not easily get out of order, and which may be readily cleaned at anytime; which provides for a complete, direct'and effective discharge of all thejvater; and which is thoroughly sanitary in its arrangement, sothat water or other matter will not collect in any part of the device.

A further object of the invention is to provide simple means whereby the device may be rcadily applied to the receptacle, and to provide asimple and effective straining or protecting means for the d =vicc.

With these and othcr objects in view, thc invention will he more particularly hcrcinalter described with rclercncc to thc accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and will then be pointed out in the clai i-z's at the end of thc dcscription.

In the drawings, Figure l is a vertical sc-c.

tion, partly broken away, and partly in clcvatlon, of one form or device as apphcd to a bath tub. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan vicw taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1./ Fig. 3 is a detail ele'vationoi the overflow cap. Fig. 4 is a dctail plan of a part of thc strainer or protector. Fig. 5 is a vertical section takcn on the line 5--5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a section taken on the line 66 of Fig. 1 and Fig. 7 is a section taken on the line 7 -7 of Fig. 1, showing the drainage opening through the valve seat.

The bath tul) or other rcccptaclc 10 may be of thc usual or ol' .an v desired construction, and in the bottom near one cnd thereof is a discharge opening 11. The opcning 11 maybe enlarged fora part of its lcnglh, and in the enlarged part of thc opening is udaptcd to fit the 'flange of a thimble 12 forming a part of a strainer or protector 13. This strainer, device or protector 13 is provided "with openings 14 around the periphery thereof, and in the openings are adapted to lit pins or projecting portions 16 which are secured to or formed as apart of the member or cap piece 17. These ins may be cast to the cap-piece 17, and t1e.under surfacc ol' the openings 14 are enlarged, so that the pins or projections 16 may be spread over and scrveas rivets to securely fasten the cappiccc 17 to the thimble or member 12. The cap-piece 17 has a spider-like formand comprises a ring 18 from which project the arms 19 to the under sides of each of which are the rivets or projections 16. As will be seer. this forms a very simple device for preventing large particles from entering the thimble or member 12, such as soap, and provides simple means whereby the members may be readily made and united together, .thcreby serving as a strainer as well as a protecting device.

As a means for holdingthe bodv of water within the receptacle. I secure to the thimble 12 a valve casing 20, and between the casing and the body oi" the receptacle is a gasket or washer 21 for thc pur )osc of making a tight joint. The casing has a threaded opening 22 which is adapted to lit the threaded end of the thimble 12, by which the casingand the device 13 are rcmovably held together. The casing is open at one end, and is provided with a ca p 23, and within'thc casing, and adjacent to thc opening 22, is a valve seat 24. The valve seat is in thc path of movement of a rcciprocating valve 25. This valve 25 has its cnd bcvclcd to correspond to the bevel of the valve scat, and has two parts or mcmbers .36 and '27. The part 27 is cup-shapcd, and within said mcmhcr is arranged a collar or cap-piece 23, between which cap-piece and the inner surface of thc member 27 is arranged a spring 29 by which the cap-picce 2S and the valve arc yicldingly held together. The member 26 of the valvc is cup-shaped and of a smaller diameter than the member 27 to pcrmit thc waste water at the rear and between the mcm'bcr 26 and the cap '23 to discharge morc readily, and the two parts are securely held togcthcr, and to the cap or collar 28 is laslcncd a bolt or rod 30, said incinhcr 20 serving to inclosc thc cap-piccc 2S and spring 29 within the mcmbcr .7 and soul the open end thercoi'. This rod 3i) has its l'orkcd end connected to a rod 31, and this latter rod is held to a crank 3-32, so that as said crank 23; is rotated thc valvc may hc reciprocated within the casing '20, to permit the Waterto openings and having a channel theretln'ough, a valve adapted to engage the valve seat, a rod, a spring yieldinglv holding the valve to the rod Within the casing, a crank arranged wvithin the casing and connected to the rod, a
